Limelight

Awesome Movie that Truly Captures those Years & Peter Gatien

     

This documentary was done very well and absolutely on point. I was in NYC at all of these clubs, and many others, during the years the movie is focused on. These were very special times in NYC nightlife history. We didn't know it then & thought it would last forever, but it definitely history making years. I consider myself very lucky to have been around in NYC during these years. I mean who hasn't heard of Limelight? I can tell you first hand Peter Gatiens clubs were these best in all ways. I remember hanging out with friends at F.I.T in NYC and talking about how a Gatien establishment was always first choice. Today you have nothing of excitement and passion for TRUE partying. Yes people are out getting drunk, but there not REALLY partying. There is no passion or vibes of peace & fun. Now it is what car and what gold chain etc. I know because after Julliani put Peter out of business I continued on partying in NYC, only to voluntary basically stop several months later. It was just clear that the era of super clubs and truly special nights were over. Imagine what the Tunnel would be like today (culture wise)? How mayor Jullani destroyed NYC Nightlife, just as it was leading the world, was TERRIBLE. Yes they were drugs there, BUT there was drugs at the old Shea stadium in 80's when i would go there as a young child with my parents. And to charge Peter like he was "allowing " this and getting kickbacks is NUTS. On top of that Peter beats those accusations in court because there was no evidence and then they get him on a small business oversight tax regulation. He pays enormous fines and then THEY DPEORT HIM! Wake people and learn what REALLY goes on in the country.
